What do you mean bait and switch? You’re trying to get a GM employee discount but you or nobody you know is a GM employee. How’s that a bait and switch. I could understand if you worked for GM and gave them a call to get the discount and they told you something like the discount just ended 5 minutes ago or something. I’m trying to figure out how anyone could think this is a bait and switch. And let me say, I usually agree with the buyer when it comes to the dealership/customer experience but they were straight up 🆙 just this one
@roycemartin9068 are you a glue sniffer,this scab dealership didn't say you had to work for gm there add said gm employee for everyone,they were having a special event!! Gm pricing is anytime 12 months a year if you work for gm,they acted like anyone could get it during this event they were doing,you better wake up and stop being a naive fool and learn 99% of these dealerships are the scum of the earth and are looking for simpletons like yourself...fact
These online ads saying “Employee pricing available” and then not disclosing that is only for actual employees/immediate family is ridiculous. It’s like going to the grocery store, seeing a can of soda for $0.25 on the price tag and getting to the register and being told “$0.25 is for employees/immediate family, your price is $3.00”…. And dealers wonder why people like myself have hired Tomi to do this for them??
@ Bottom line…. If the employee pricing is only for employees / immediate family, then that should be sent in an internal communication to the employee/dependents not for the public to see and think that pricing applies to everyone. I know Target employees get a discount, but nowhere in the store or online is an employee discounted price showing. Many large companies have employee discounts / pricing for employees/dependents but only in the auto industry for decades has used the employee pricing as a tactic to try to get people to come in to their showroom and wear them down into buying a vehicle.
@@SqueegeeKidNoMore I agree with you but technically the information is on the ad. It's misleading.... At best. Why do they need to advertise "employee pricing" to the public if it's not applicable? Because enough people fall for it and purchase anyway.
Why wouldnt they just tell their employees about the discount? Why would they put it on the their website if it wasnt for the general public? The dealerships think its busineness as usual. They didnt get the memo that they would be lucky if anyone would buy a car from them. Especially cars that are 100k. Love your channel Tommy. Keep them honest
@@erics8696 Then they already know about the incentive, there's no reason that GM employees and relatives need to be told about the discount in the dealership's marketing.
I quit dealing with car dealerships a couple of years ago, anymore I purchase from private sales or established auto auctions. My friend has a Florida dealers license so we went to the Tampa auto auction and picked up a 2021 Nissan Frontier full-cab 4x4 truck for my son. This truck only had 66,000 miles on it and we paid $8900 for it. When you walk around the auction house car lot you can run the vin # and get all the history on any vehicle.....
I’ve done well with CarMax, bought a couple vehicles outside the rust belt. One owner, low miles, no accidents, no BS haggling. I drove off with tags, ready to go.
Why would anyone ever buy a $111K Cadillac when you can get a Suburban RST 6.2 L with 4WD for around $70K before any discounts? It's the exact same vehicle with a different badge on it.
Well they can call the discount whatever they want. 🤷🏻 But nothings moving, and the year is ending, but they want to move vehicles. 🤪 My mom just got a Military discount on a new furnace, she’s not military, but her brother was, so close enough.
Exactly the reason I quit the industry I was with one dealer for 28 years and they were fantastic. Life changed and I finished at three other dealers and the games they played with customers and more importantly with their employees was absolutely disgusting.
This is the exact reason,why I left my previous dealership. I refuse to play games or do anything unethical. I have never heard of this before though. Why advertise employee pricing to the public, If it is not honored for customers. Bait and switch to get people in the store. This BS should be illegal.
This is why people don’t trust car dealerships! I purchased both my cars online just like you in 2020 and 2021. For me it’s simple what are you selling the car for! I’ll get my own financing
I used to work for a dealership when i was 20 . After working for one i never bought new always used private sale with a good history and one owner.. i would see how much the people were getting taken for
Paying 95K for GM products is insane; working in the automotive repair field, the newer cars nowadays are not built to last. Paying over 100k for a car made in China or Mexico with terrible quality control is only part of why no one is buying new. I'm in the market for a car, and I hate dealing with dealerships.
To me the most annoying part is they advertise the price as 95k and after all the bs they carefully add 3k to the initial msrp for floor mats and oil changes. So after all the negotiating, you wind up right back where it all began PLUS 3k haha. Total waste of time.
In my opinion you have to be crazy to buy a new vehicle today even if you can pay cash for it. They are crazy overpriced even if you get a 10% discount. Personally I am keeping my 12' Altima until it dies. The way I take care of my car as good or better than any 12' Camry. I say invest your money and don't buy an overpriced depreciating LIABILITY.
You can buy a brand new Tesla Model Y with a couple of clicks, you don’t need to talk to anyone, you can place a $4,000 down payment and get 60 months financing at 0% interest in addition to $7,500 back from Uncle Sam. 👍🏻 and no more gas stations.
@IGottaSay I did it 4 months ago and bought a Model 3 LR AWD for 45,520 out the door after tax rebate. Few clicks on Friday morning and Monday afternoon was picking up my Tesla. No bs no drama. I was looking for buying a Camry XSE but the price was almost $46k OTD and I was tired of all the games they try to play with me. I’m done with dealers.
Tomi missed out on a great deal unfortunately. I'd assume this is one of those GM dealers in Michigan that has codes available from many people that they give a kickback to when they use their employee codes. They can't discuss it over the phone with him because its "illegal" to sell these codes to others. But they can certainly tell him in person, if he'd just go into the dealership (which the dealership tried to convey to him). There's a reason so many of us go to Michigan to buy our GM cars lol, it's worth the drive.
These word tracks that the sales people have to use is so cringe. These GM’s of dealerships are so stuck in the past. I sold cars for years and they’re all the same no matter where you go.
Lol, this dealer is a complete Joke... Tomi call up here to a Canadian dealer.. we are purchasing a Tahoe right now and are using the employee discount(neother ofnus are GM employees or have fmaily)and have verified with the dealer its for EVERYONE. he also mentioned the Escalades are $12000k off !! add your American dollar purchasing power
I'm out of state, but you keep talking about having to show up in person to discuss pricing. Talk about a hard pass. FNA pal, you either have a price or not, stop trying to fleece people with double talk and hidden fees. Have fun going out of business.
Tomi, has proven that dealships are still scum. They all deserve to go belly up. The prices on any car or truck, of any make and model, are completely nuts. Every car or truck manufacturer should drop their MSRP by 50%. Even at this, they are not worth the money, since there are so many recalls on every brand. The deale s still don't get, now it is the buyers market. So dealerships can not rip off the customer anymore, but they will try.
Hey guys!! I got a quick question! I’m buying a used 2018 Honda Civic off a dealership lot. The cars priced at $15,858 but it does have high km’s around 215,000. I noticed a few other exact models with similar km’s are priced at $13,800. Should I try to work the price down? How do I go about doing so? I was thinking about bringing up how the other vehicles in an exact range in km’s are priced lower. The cars been serviced perfectly though with very little to no issues and it’s a EX edition with all the bells and whistles and Honda sensing. Should I go through and bring the price down? Or leave the deal and find something better
Well now you see what we are against here in MI. They advertise lowest price available but won’t honor it. And I love she said she didn’t work for GM, she works for Cadillac? Is she dishonest or just stupid? Probably both.
Lmao bro noooooo the more I watch this shit show the more I just want to lease a Tesla and get this shit over with. I would need to go with a lawyer so I wouldn’t lose my shit at a dealership
Unless the dealer changed their ad after this phone call, the explanation for "employee pricing" is actually on the website for that vehicle. It may not be very obvious but it is there.
It is, but there is only a small portion of people who qualify for this pricing. Yet they advertise it in a way that everyone would get employee pricing. The fine print shouldn't change a price by 15k.
You have to remember, being "nice" is better most of the time. Building rapport and letting them go through their spiel makes them more likely to give you numbers over the phone while many struggle to get this.
@@Delivrd I would be mad if I was nice and patient and ended up getting a "best deal" price of $111K which is $6,000 over sticker even after "thousands of dollars worth of discounts." It's crazy that they mark up the car $3,000 for floor mats.
So, someone who is a member of the society that is notoriously know for shady business practices, is calling someone else a shady dealer? Really Tom? Pot calling the kettle black, much?😆
Would you consider this a bait and switch? Whats your thoughts on how dealerships are pricing their cars?
Tough to tell whether the employees are bait and switching on purpose or whether they are the dumbest people alive.
I'll go with dumbest no Earth@@austinwinston684
thats why they want you to come in,.they cant take you up the ass on the phone,the need you there to apply the Vaseline

"Employee Pricing For All Customers!"
*family only
“I don’t work for GM, I work for Cadillac”
Ma’am, were you just born?
Holy shit! That lady didn’t listen to a word you said because she insisted on rambling over you. VIP my ass!
Paying over $100,000 for anything made by GM proves your customer has more dollars than sense.
🎶Just bought a cadillac 🎶
American car prices are insane now. They’re out of their mind
So anything over $100,000 for a Ford is good?
Don’t be a hater cause you’re not a multi millionaire. Wait …I don’t have any sense…how did I get so rich 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
What are we supposed to buy? Mercedes, Ford?

@@jamesk9321 yup!
@@jamesk9321 this is likely not true. Companies get in trouble for false advertising all the time

that GM discount is a scam bruh
Yes it is lol
@ thanks to you and your skills I do this for people now. But I do it for Mazda and Volvo.
